Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a simple phospholipid with extracellular signaling properties mediated by specific G protein-coupled receptors. At least 2 LPA receptors, LPA(1) and LPA(2), are expressed in the developing brain, the former enriched in the neurogenic ventricular zone (VZ), suggesting a normal role in neurogenesis. Despite numerous studies reporting the effects of exogenous LPA usi...
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a known cell signaling lipid mediator in reproductive tissues. In the cow, LPA is involved in luteal and early pregnancy maintenance. Here, we evaluated the presence and role of LPA in bovine early embryonic development. In relevant aspects, bovine embryos reflect more closely the scenario occurring in human embryos than the mouse model. Transcription of mRNA and ...
The effects of the simple phospholipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) on the contractile responsiveness of isolated tracheal rings from rabbits and cats were assessed. In both species, LPA increased the contractile response to the muscarinic agonist methacholine, but LPA did not induce contraction on its own. Conversely, LPA decreased the relaxation response to the beta-adrenergic-agonist...
Lysolipids such as LPA, S1P and SPC have diverse biological activities including cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. We investigated signaling pathways of LPA-induced contraction in feline esophageal smooth muscle cells. We used freshly isolated smooth muscle cells and permeabilized cells from cat esophagus to measure the length of cells. Maximal contraction occurred at 10(-6) M...
Purpose To compare the levels of autotaxin (ATX), lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) in the aqueous humor (AH) of healthy control subjects with those of patients with different subtypes of glaucoma, and also to investigate the relationship of the ATX-LPA pathway with IOP and subtype of glaucoma. Methods This study included 164 eyes of 164 consecutive cases of catar...
Despite the fact that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) has been identified as a main platelet-activating lipid of mildly oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and human atherosclerotic lesions, it remains unknown whether it is capable of activating platelets in blood. We found that LPA at concentrations slightly above plasma levels induces platelet shape change, aggregation, and platelet-monocyte a...
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) has diverse actions on the cardiovascular system and is widely reported to modulate multiple ion currents in some cell types. However, little is known about its electrophysiological effects on cardiac myocytes. This study investigated whether LPA has electrophysiological effects on isolated rabbit myocardial preparations. The results indicate that LPA prolongs action...
UNLABELLED Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an extracellular lipid mediator involved in many physiological functions that signals through six known G-protein-coupled receptors (LPA1-LPA6). A wide range of LPA effects have been identified in the CNS, including neural progenitor cell physiology, astrocyte and microglia activation, neuronal cell death, axonal retraction, and development of neuropath...
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a mitogenic phospholipid produced by certain activated cells and present in serum. LPA stimulates phospholipase C and inhibits adenylate cyclase in its target cells, apparently by activating a specific G-protein-coupled receptor. Here, we demonstrate that LPA causes transient rounding of N1E-115 and NG108-15 neuronal cells accompanied by growth cone collapse and r...
It is generally thought that the large heterogeneity of human HDL confers antiatherogenic properties; however, the mechanisms governing HDL biogenesis and speciation are complex and poorly understood. Here, we show that incubation of exogenous apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) with fibroblasts, CaCo-2, or CHO-overexpressing ABCA1 cells generates only alpha-nascent apolipoprotein A-I-containing partic...
